Experts warn that #deployers of #AIagents could be #heldliable for their actions, even if the harm caused was unforeseen. While the law currently applies only to people, not virtual beings, the person or business deploying the AI agent is responsible for its actions. This raises concerns about potential legal and ethical ambiguities surrounding AI agent actions, especially as more cases of harm emerge. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/aug/13/ai-agents-arent-legally-responsible-for-any-harm-that-they-cause-experts-say-so-who-is?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

Imagine if, instead of building #knowledgegraphs mapping the relationships and semantic meaning behind raw data ahead of time, networks of #AIagents could build their own, instantly. That's what DFT Labs, a new venture of a company called HeyDonto, proposes, along with a new set of benchmarks that gauge not just how well #AI models predict the next token, but how well they actually understand and preserve data context. HeyDonto's co-founder, CTO and chief researcher sits down with IT Ops Query to discuss his work, and its industry-wide implications.

In today’s episode, we’ll cover…

·       Data Field Theory, a new approach to how AI systems learn

·       Potential AI compliance implications with self-updating systems

·       How quantum physics can inform data intelligence

And more!

“Time is selling ads to AI agents. Perplexity refuses to let them work.

Less than two weeks after Digiday reported that Time had started serving ads inside the markdown versions of its webpages, aimed at AI agents rather than human readers, Perplexity confirmed that it blocked those ads from influencing its own search index.

In an emailed statement to Digiday, Perplexity’s chief communications officer Jesse Dwyer said the company works “continuously” to protect users from deceptive practices, sponsored or not, and warned that publishers who deploy “deceptive advertising like markdown ads” risk a reputational downgrade in Perplexity’s proprietary search index, including a hit to their trust score.

Perplexity did not respond to questions about how the AI company is defining “deceptive” practices or advertising — or how they are logistically blocking Time’s ads.”

AI coding agents are amazing, but their context collapse is real. Stop re-explaining your entire codebase every session. 🔁
